IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING – When using hose reels, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, read all the instructions before using the tool.
Work Area
1. Keep the work area clean and well lighted. 2. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating the tool.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating the tool.
Do not use the tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the
tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair increases the risk of injury to persons as
a result of being caught in moving parts.
3. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
4. Use safety equipment.
A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and
a hard hat must be used for the
applicable conditions.
5. Always wear eye protection.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.
Tool Use and Care
1. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which the tool is designed.
2. Disconnect the tool from the air source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool unintentionally.

Tool Use and Care (cont.)
4. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that affects the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained hose reels.
There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
Service
1. Tool service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
Air Source
1. Never connect to an air source that is
capable of exceeding 200 psi.
Over pressurizing the tool may cause
bursting, abnormal operation, breakage
of the tool or serious injury to persons.
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the
rated pressure or within the rated pressure range as
marked on the tool. Always verify prior to using the
tool that the air source has been adjusted to the rated
air pressure or within the rated air-pressure range.
5. Use only accessories that are identified by the
manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of
an accessory not intended for use with the specific
tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.
SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
3. Use only the lubricants supplied with the
tool or specified by the manufacturer.
2. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible
gases or any bottled gas as an air source
for the tool. Such gases are capable of
explosion and serious injury to persons.
